Date of Stay: August, 2014 - $30.00
The campground is unique in the fact that really no one stays there nightly. There are a few RVs that stay there full time. There was a pool but it is no longer used, and the Internet does not work unless you go to the office and sit there to use it. We only got one station on TV, which was PBS. But I must say, the people who own and run this facility are amazing! They were so kind and sweet that we would definitely stay there again. It's quiet and it has a beautiful waterfall that you can walk to, and a little stream and a fishing pond. We slept well there since it is so quiet, and enjoyed the solitude. Would highly recommend it if this is what you are looking for. We camped at Moravian Falls Family Campground in a Motorhome.
Date of Stay: April, 2014 - $34.00
Nice, shaded campground, with the waterfalls adding to the beautiful scenery. Very friendly staff who are very helpful to visitors, as it was our first time there. The majority of the lots are small and not paved, barely any gravel left, mostly grass. I recommend the lower lot, especially for visitors with larger motorhomes because the pond, office, bath house and everything is in the lower lot, and there IS a very sharp, steep turn to get into the upper lot. No pool, no playground for kids, but our kids still had fun. I recommend this campground for the beauty and quiet, and a 45 minute drive to Boone and Blowing Rock. We camped at Moravian Falls Family Campground in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: November, 2009 - $33.00
I recently stayed here for 2 weeks while working at a local hospital. The ONLY campsite in the area! The owners were incredibly helpful and very friendly to accommodate my needs. I'm in a 40' Class A, and please let me give you a warning! The camping area for 50 amp service is UP HILL! You have to make a very sharp (and wide) left-hand turn into the camp area, then up another hill on a sharp right-hand turn to get to your spot. Not for the "faint at heart" to climb. However, after you get up and settled in, the area is absolutely beautiful! I just so happened to hit it during the late Fall / Autumn. The near by Moravian Falls in practically in your back door, and it is very therapeutic to be around. I learned quickly that silence is loud! Well worth the stay, but don't think I'll be making the trip up the hill again. Probably stay in the lower part with the 30 amp services. (This is near the pool area) Hope you find it as wonderful and I did some day! We camped at Moravian Falls Family Campground in a Motorhome.
This campground was clean and adequate, nothing fancy. It does have a beautiful waterfall
right there at the campground! The lady who runs/owns it is very nice and eager to accommodate. I asked my husband how clean the bathrooms were and his
reply was, "I've seen worse". Some references on the internet say this is a campground and water park, but since the waterslide isn't operational, the words "water park" should be removed from its title. They do have a swimming pool though and pretty pond to fish in. There's lots of shade! Some of the sites are small, but we managed to get our 26' 5th wheel in one of the larger ones without a whole lot of trouble. Only a few seasonals there. With a few improvements, this could be a really nice, beautiful campground. Wilkesboro and North Wilkesboro are just a couple of miles down the road. The Blue Ridge Parkway is between 20-30 miles away. Moravian Falls seems to be a friendly little town. It's in the foothills and a good, quiet location to camp if you don't want to tow your camper through the higher elevations. We camped at Moravian Falls Family Campground in a Fifth Wheel.

ormer Pussycat Doll singer Nicole Scherzinger has stepped up to address new hype and gossip claiming she is romantically linked to R&B star Chris Brown.
Speaking via a representative, Scherzinger assured fans Brown is nothing more than a close friend.
A rep for Nicole Scherzinger is slamming rumors that the singer hooked up with Chris Brown on Tuesday night. The rumor started on Wednesday morning after MediaTakeOut published pictures of the two inside Hollywood nightspot, The Supperclub. A rep for Nicole tells us, "There is absolutely no truth to the ridiculous story regarding Nicole and Chris Brown. The photos that have surfaced are of old friends who were trying to talk at a very loud club. I guarantee there will be no photos of them kissing. This is a non-story." A rep for Brown reiterated those sentiments, telling us, "No story here. They were not kissing. They are friends, and have been for years. They were talking at a club that was playing loud music." (RumorFix)
Steamy hook-up rumors hit the Internet early Wednesday (September 26) in light of a few leaked photos.
Photos circulating on the Web show Scherzinger, 34, leaning close to Brown, 23, as he presumably tries to shout in her ear. In one image, Brown looks like he's closing in on Scherzinger's personal space as she throws her head back and smiles. Gossip site X17online.com initially reported that the two were locking lips on the dance floor, citing an eyewitness who said the two celebrities were definitely doing more than talking. "They were dancing close for a while and being all touchy-feely and finally Chris leaned into her," the source told X17online.com. "She put her head on his shoulder and they started kissing! I couldn't believe Chis was being so obvious about it!" (NY Daily News)
Despite the gossip, both music stars are reportedly involved in separate relationships.
Nicole is dating British race car driver Lewis Hamilton and Chris has been with aspiring model Karrueche Tran for nearly a year who Us Weekly reports, was already unhappy with her beau for kissing former flame Rihanna in the audience at the VMA's earlier this month. (OK Magazine)
Chris Breezy made headlines this week after appearing in court.
Chris Brown tested positive for marijuana recently in Virginia, where smoking weed is illegal, but the judge said she would NOT revoke his probation. Chris was just in court for a probation progress report hearing in his felony battery of Rihanna -- and according to probation report docs ... Brown failed a drug test on June 18 in Virginia, where he was fulfilling his court ordered community service. According to probation report, Chris told his probation officer he had smoked weed in California -- where he has a medical marijuana prescription -- and then failed the test in Virginia, where weed is illegal ... prescription or no prescription.

Phantom of Inferno (known in Japan as Phantom -PHANTOM OF INFERNO-) is a visual novel game created by Nitroplus, and distributed by Hirameki International (a subsidiary of the Japanese visual novel publisher Hirameki). It came out for PC in Japan in 2000 and was ported for DVD in 2001 and for PS2 in 2003. It was distributed in America as an AnimePlay DVD title in 2005. The story can take either a dark action/drama path or can turn into a romantic drama depending on the choice of the player. An updated port for the Xbox 360 console was released in 2012.[1]
Phantom is an interactive (choose your own adventure) video game and its adaptations: a three-part OVA anime series, a 26-episode TV anime, and a three volume manga.
Video game[edit]
Phantom of Inferno details the life of a 15-year-old Japanese boy who is kidnapped after witnessing the killing of a reporter. The memories of his past life are erased, and he is given the choice to join 'Inferno' or die. After joining the organization he is given the name 'Zwei' (German for number 'two') and will study under 'Ein' (From the German word "Eins" for 'one'). Ein is also known as 'Phantom', the title given to the organization's top assassin.
Inferno is said to be the 'United Nations of crime syndicates'. As Zwei makes his way through training and various missions, deceit and betrayal occur even within Inferno and slowly put Zwei in increasing danger. Along the way, Zwei meets a girl by the name of Cal Devens and, though he tries to protect her, she too is drawn into Inferno to become the assassin, Drei (German for 'three').
The game is divided into three chapters. The first chapter deals with Zwei being turned into a killer and has two main "routes" to follow, the Ein route and the Claudia route. No matter which route is chosen, the chapter ends with Scythe escaping and Ein presumably dead, unless one opts to escape back to Japan. The second chapter starts off one year after the events in the first chapter, and deals with Claudia's plan to bring the Godoh group into the organization, Scythe's revenge, and the introduction of a new character, Cal Devens. It contains the Cal route and the final Claudia route.
In 2010, Nitroplus announced the game will be remade for the Xbox 360 featuring the same scenario but based on the designs created for the anime series from Bee Train. Character designs from artists Minkao Shiba, Yoko Kikuchi, Tomoaki Kado, Yoshimitsu Yamashita and Yoshiaki Tsubata were introduced into the 360 version. In addition to the design adaptations, the cast of the anime series will also reprise their roles for the newer/updated version.[2] It was originally planned for a Winter 2011 release, but was delayed due to unforeseen complications.[3] The game has been released on October 25, 2012[4] and ported on PC on August 30, 2013.
DVD version[edit]
The DVD version of the game was later translated to English and distributed by Hirameki International.
The game can be difficult to play on a PC, as many media players will not display the video and subtitles properly or at all. Two known media players that do work include VLC and PowerDVD. VLC will run with no problems, allowing the player to fast forward scenes with the slider bar, but the password system will give the player a blank screen if the player attempts to use it. PowerDVD will run fine as well, but sometimes it will not let the player to use the slider bar to fast forward scenes, which can make it more time consuming to replay the game and obtain different endings. PowerDVD also has a working fast-forward option, however it can cause the game to freeze up and stop responding at certain scenes.
The DVD version removed the save/load system from the PC version, replacing it with a password system to jump to selected points in the story. The CG gallery was also removed in porting, and there is no way to go back and re-read the text in previous scenes. The English subtitles suffer from various quality issues, such as a large amount of typo or grammar mistakes, liberal translations, and sometimes fail to show up at certain points in the story. One particular instance has the character Cal say "Thanks" in the English subtitles, at a time when Zwei is asking about her age.
OVA - Phantom: The Animation[edit]
The OVA series follows Zwei as he makes a trip to America, only to witness an assassination that leads to his memory loss and indoctrination into Inferno. Though not as heavily as in the game, we see Zwei's training before he goes with Ein to help with an assassination. While a different path is taken, deceit and betrayal rip apart Inferno and place Ein and Zwei on opposite sides, which eventually leads to a climactic battle between them at the end of the anime.
Anime series[edit]
Nitroplus and Kadokawa Shoten have adapted the story into an anime series produced by Bee Train under the direction of Koichi Mashimo, titled Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. Staff members include writer Yosuke Kuroda, who co-wrote and supervised the scripts from the staff writers Gen Urobuchi, Hideki Shirane, Noboru Kimura, Tatsuya Takahashi and Yukihito Nonaka and designed by Bee Train artists Yoshimitsu Yamashita, Mutsumi Sasaki, Minako Shiba, Yoshiaki Tsubata, Tomoaki Kado and Yoko Kikuchi.[5] The series features music by Hikaru Nanase and theme songs by Kokia and Ali Project.[5]
The series went on air on April 2, 2009 and ended its run on September 24, 2009 on TV Tokyo. Subsequently the show also airs on AT-X, TV Aichi, and TV Osaka.[6] The anime series is now available for internet streaming by FUNimation Entertainment.[7] The complete series was released in English on two DVD sets January 18, 2011.
The series made its North American television debut on February 8, 2010 on the Funimation Channel.[8]
- Zwei (Reiji Azuma)
- The title character of the story, Zwei was a perfectly ordinary tourist from Japan, before witnessing an Inferno assassination in America and being kidnapped. He was able to elude his pursuers long enough for them to realize he had a natural survival instinct that was perfect for an assassin. He had his memory erased through a combination of drugs and hypnotherapy, and thus became the second generation Phantom. The name Zwei is simply a code name to show he is the second experimental assassin created by Scythe Master. Through Claudia, one of the three top executives of Inferno, Zwei is able to learn his true identity as Reiji Azuma. When he returns to Japan, he goes back to using this name. When his killing intent shows, in the anime, his eyes turn green with orange in the center.

- Ein (Eren)
- An assassin with such skill she was given the codename "Phantom", a designation given only to the best killer in Inferno. She was found by Scythe Master and was his first test subject to be given his assassin-processing treatment. She has no memories of her past and is incredibly apathetic. When she escapes to Japan, she changes her name to Eren and claims to be Reiji's twin sister. A long and rigorous investigation by Eren and Reiji traces her history back to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, and though the trail manages to stop there, Eren is able to find some peace in the area. In the OVA, she is shown to have an older brother, and it is suggested the village where she lived was massacred.

- Drei (Cal Devens)
- A young girl that tried to hire Zwei, thinking he was a killer for justice, by using money she had unknowingly stolen from Inferno. Zwei tries to hide her from Inferno but is unsuccessful and in a move to save her life asks that she becomes his assistant as he had been to Ein. After an attempt on his life, Zwei took her for dead and was forced to leave America to go into hiding. Cal believed that she had been left behind by Zwei and was manipulated by an exonerated Scythe, who turned her beliefs into full hatred for Zwei and trained her as his third assassin, Drei. Her clothing and situation-teenaged girl trying to hire an assassin to avenge her murdered sibling, beginning to fall in love with said assassin, and learning the art of killing herself-are very similar to those of the character Mathilda from the film Léon. In the anime she is a fan of old films. Her method of dueling, waiting until the music from the pocket-watch Reiji gave her has stopped, is a reference to For a Few Dollars More.

- Zahlenschwestern
- Six girls who all went through Scythe Master's finalized assassin creation process. They are nearly the same quality of killers as the first three, and took nowhere near as much time to train since the process to make them was based on all the original three's data. They all wear white carnival masks (similar to ones Zwei and Ein wear during one of their missions at one point) and are named: Vier, Fünf, Sechs, Sieben, Acht and Neun. "Zahlenschwestern" appropriately means "Number Sisters."
Unlike standard Visual Novels where you usually focus on a single girl near the start and delve more into her story, the story is much more interleaved in Phantom of Inferno.[9] The game is divided into 3 chapters, and each chapter has different routes which will affect the sequence of events, as well as vary the scenes and endings that you will get.
Chapter 1[edit]
Ein's route[edit]
To get on Ein's route, simply think about her on the first night, and call to her on the night of the final test. After returning from the body guard assignment, save Ein, do not let her go, and console her in the motel room. At the final confrontation at the compound, Reiji will attempt to shoot Scythe, but Ein jumps into the way, taking the bullet for him. Scythe then escapes.
Claudia's route[edit]
To get on Claudia's route, you must learn to drive the F40 and sleep with Claudia during the body guard assignment. You must also choose to save Ein, but instead, plan to return to Inferno. During the final confrontation at the compound, Reiji will be shot at by an unknown sniper and both will play a game of cat and mouse to try and discover each other's position. Seeing someone's shadow behind him, Reiji turns and fires, hitting Ein, who had not fired even though she had gotten the drop on Reiji. Scythe then shoots Reiji and is about to finish him off when Lizzie arrives and saves his life. Scythe still manages to escape however.
Chapter 2[edit]
The events in chapter 2 will be decided by whose route you took in chapter 1, as well as whether you partially or completely finished them. Cal's path is necessary for several of the chapter 2 endings.
Cal's route[edit]
Cal's route is very strict because a single deviation will cause the game to treat it as if you had never met Cal in the first place. Generally speaking, all the options in Cal's route will be "Cal or something else", and you must pick the Cal-related option (such as going shopping with her). If you turn her down once, or simply choose to not trust her at the beginning, then the story immediately assumes that you never met her in the first place, which, depending on your decisions, may seem rather odd (Choosing not to go shopping with Cal for instance, completely removes her appearance from any further scenes, almost as if she went shopping but never came back).
The exception is if you chose not to accept Cal's confession, in which case she will still show up in the game afterwards. However you will not be able to get the Southbound ending and will be relegated to a dead end where Ein shoots you in the desert warehouse.
If you completed Claudia's path in chapter 1 and start on Cal's path in chapter 2, then you will have to pick which path you wish to complete. You will have the option to go to Claudia's house (which will put you on Claudia's route in chapter 2) or not (Cal's route).
Ein's Route[edit]
Getting to chapter three may be tricky, since it requires a specific set of circumstances. You must have completed both Ein and Cal's paths, confirmed the sniper's identity, and discovered the identity of the attackers at the harbor. After the loft is bombed, you must "Hide". After this you will meet up with Ein at the warehouse and escape southwards. However, Cal is still alive and thinks that Reiji lied to her. She is then discovered by Scythe, who encourages this belief, and which will form one of the crucial plot points of chapter three.
According to the official PS2 game guidebook, the endings are as follows:
Chapter 1[edit]
The Endless Nightmare: Reiji successfully escapes back to Japan and resumes his normal, everyday life with his family. One day, he catches a glimpse of Ein amidst a crowd, apparently having survived and presumably sent to terminate him. However, Reiji isn't completely sure what he saw was real or just a figment of his imagination, for he now feels as if he is living in a dream and can't get rid of his fear that he will wake up to the "real world" where he is an assassin.
Chapter 2[edit]
The End of a Long Dream: To get this ending, you must do Claudia's path in chapter 1 and 2, but not meet Cal, and then do not shoot Lizzie when she draws her gun. Reiji then goes to the warehouse in the desert and waits for Ein to find and kill him, which she does, lamenting his death and the scar in her heart.
Southbound: To get this ending, you must complete Ein's path in chapter 1 but not fully complete Cal's path in chapter 2, and must also identify the sniper and attackers at the harbor. Reiji goes to the warehouse in the desert and waits for Ein to kill him, but Ein asks Reiji to kill her instead, as Scythe has no more use for her and she sees no other purpose in her life. Neither is able to kill the other, and finally they vow to head south this time to start a new life together (having headed north on their failed attempt to run away from Inferno in chapter 1). This can be considered Ein's happy ending, and is more or less the same as the path to chapter 3, but since Reiji has no complete relationship with Cal, the two of them simply head south to start a new life together.
Fugitives: This ending requires you to follow the full Cal path in chapter 2 but NOT finish Ein's path in chapter 1 or Claudia's path in chapter 2. After the loft is bombed, you must select to "Hide". After this Cal will arrive back from her shopping trip and Reiji vows to escape with her and start a new life together.
Vengeful Spirits: This ending requires you to follow the full Cal path in Chapter 2. After the loft is bombed, you should select the option to "Kill everyone". Reiji goes berserk and storms Inferno HQ, killing over 20 men and McGuire in the process before dying of multiple wounds, as he believes Inferno has taken Cal away from him. However, Cal was not in the apartment during the explosion. She waits faithfully for him to return as he promised to, finally accusing him of lying to her after the third morning.
At this point, the alternative option "Hide" simply causes Reiji to go hide at the warehouse in the desert and wait for Ein to kill him, which she does. It is nearly identical to the "The End of the Long Dream" ending.
From Atop the Hill: There are two variations of this ending. Both require you to finish Claudia's route in chapter 1 and 2 completely and finish off by selecting "Shoot Claudia" at the hangar. One version requires you not to have met Cal or broken off the relationship early on, and the other requires you to have gone as far with the Cal route as possible in addition to Claudia's route. Reiji remembers that he vowed to survive at all costs, and shoots Claudia at the hangar, bringing her body and the disk back to Inferno.
Five years later, Inferno has united all the underworld kingpins in America and is poised to conquer the new century. Then all the kingpins are shot by Scythe's elite team, the Zahlen Schwestern, as part of Reiji's plan to take over Inferno and manipulate the criminal underground for himself. He was able to do this because the Zahlen Schwestern were created based on Ein's data, and as he once tried to communicate with Ein, he managed to communicate with the Zahlen Schwestern and get them to trust in him. Reiji then shoots Scythe. If you also did the Cal route, then Lizzie reports that Cal managed to assassinate McGuire in Colombia. Reiji gives her the title of Phantom, as she became his best assassin in the 5 years since the hangar incident. If you did not meet Cal, then she is simply not mentioned. In both variations, Lizzie is disgusted with what Reiji has become, leaving the organization for the country to start a bar. Reiji finally visits Claudia's grave at a small cemetery on top of a lonely hill, looking down at the city below.
If you are playing the DVD version, you will get the first part of the ending password here. The ending password unlocks several extras such as the various production trailers, TV commercials, nearly all of the FMV sequences, and the sound track. However, the English translated DVD version has the "Gun Gallery" locked out for unknown reasons. The gun gallery is used to showcase all the guns that are in the game.
The Woman in the High Castle: Unlike "From Atop the Hill", this ending has only one version regardless of whether you met Cal or not. Reiji chooses to accept fate and allow Claudia to shoot him, and helps her by pretending to try and shoot her. Reiji ends up dying in Claudia's arms, telling her that she needs to live and get back all the things stolen from her, and to take revenge on Inferno.
One year later, Claudia has hooked up with the new No.2 man of the Gambino family, and is slowly manipulating both him and the family for her own purposes. However, she still keeps the .38 special cartridge from the bullet that she shot Reiji with, and can't seem to get rid of it or forget what she did that morning in the Hangar. As she stands at a window looking down at the city below her, she vows to become stronger or she will lose to someone like her previous, merciless self.
This ending will give you the first part of the ending password as well.
Chapter 3[edit]
Road of the Cerulean Sky: This can be considered Ein's "True Ending". To obtain this ending, do not fully complete Mio's path in chapter 3, and at the final choice, choose to go after Eren. Reiji will find Eren in the church, and after a tearful reunion they get married right there and then. Reiji insists on fighting Cal, and manages to get Eren to promise him to leave and wait for him, and that he would definitely return to her. Cal arrives at the appointed time, and takes out the pocket watch that Reiji bought for her 2 years ago from a street vendor while the two of them were preparing for the counter snipe operation. Setting it on the altar, she opens it, starting the music, and sets the stage for the duel. When the music stops, both go for their guns, but Reiji is faster and Cal suffers a fatal wound. In the end, as she lies dying in Reiji's arms, Cal forgives Reiji for everything. Shortly after, the Godoh group sends 20 men to assault the church. Reiji nearly runs out of ammo, but is saved by the sudden appearance of Eren, and they manage to escape.
Scythe arrives after the sun has set with the Zahlen Schwestern and manages to get Shiga to back off and let him handle the situation. In the ensuing battle, Eren shoots Scythe, and all the members of the Zahlen Schwestern are killed. When the semester starts, Mio, who was rescued from the ruins by Shiga (and who of course insisted it was a kidnapping motivated by money), can't help but feel it was a dream. Regardless, she resolves to live her life and meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Eren and Reiji start a long and arduous investigation into Scythe and Eren's past, trying to discover her identity. They eventually trace her back to a Hong Kong brothel that handled young girls, and then to Ulan Bator, Mongolia, where the trail runs cold. Eventually a young translator gives them the advice to go to the grasslands and look at the sky to find Eren's homeland. With no other options, they do that, and Eren discovers that this place really is her homeland, and she ends the investigation, stating that she is satisfied just to be here with Reiji.
This ending will give you the second part of the ending password.
Cherry Blossom Avenue: This is Mio's only ending. Eren and Cal meet at the church to duel. Cal puts her pocket watch on the altar and says that once the music stops, they shoot. Reiji appears at the last moment in order to stop the fight, but girls ignore him and fight like in the "Dusty Desert Trail" ending. When Eren throws a survival knife at Cal (which this one doesn't notice), Reiji shoots a bullet to make Cal move and not be killed and once again tries to sort out things with her, but to no avail as Cal has no intentions of making peace.
Shiga and 20 of Godoh's men arrive at the church and start shooting the three assassins. Cal kills her way out and Reiji persuades Eren to leave through the back door while he stays behind. When Reiji runs out of ammunition, Mio runs into the church and persuades him to use her as a hostage so that he could get away from the church alive. Shiga orders the men to stop shooting and Reiji and Mio safely get out and run to the school. Shiga and his men follow them, but meet Scythe Master and the Zahlen Schwestern who also want to enter the school and kill Reiji. Shiga refuses to retreat and the groups start fighting each other. Meanwhile, Reiji and Mio talk in the school about various subjects. Shiga soon finds them and says that he is the only survivor. Reiji persuades him to take Mio away while he stays behind to deal with Zahlen Schwestern. Mio at first refuses to flee, but accepts Reiji's explanation when he promises her to return to her once the fight is over.
While they are fleeing, Mio and Shiga are almost killed by one of the assassins, but Reiji kills her from the window and the two are able to run to the parking lot. Scythe notices them and orders the assassins to eliminate them. Shiga notices that the car is sabotaged and will explode if the ignition is turned on. Shiga removes the bomb from his car and orders Mio to hide behind a wall while he risks his life to check if the car is safe. At this point one of the assassins shoots Shiga and he is severely wounded, but manages to kill the assassin and drive Mio away. When they get far away enough to be safe, Shiga dies from his wounds, unable to tell Mio to not trust Reiji.
Cal watches Shiga and Mio from a distance, satisfied because her help isn't needed. Then Eren appears and points a gun at Cal saying that she considers her to be the greatest threat around. Meanwhile, Reiji manages to kill the remaining assassins, but finds himself weaponless in front of Scythe's gun. Scythe compliments Reiji and calls him his best assassin, who unfortunately wasn't obedient enough. During their conversation, Scythe calls Ein and Drei failed experiments. At this moment, Cal sneaks up behind Scythe and kills him for insulting her. She then tells Reiji that she will let him live for now as she owes Mio but promises him to kill him and Ein in future.
Reiji then visits Mio later and they spend a night together, talking about various subjects and even sleep together. The next morning, Reiji leaves her because they are from a different world. Later on, Reiji meets with Mio's grandfather, the head of the Godoh group, and tells him to end his life of criminal activity for Mio's sake. The Godoh head refuses, so Reiji coldly threatens to kill everyone affiliated with the group before leaving the head in shock. Later, Reiji and Eren watch Mio visiting Shiga's grave from afar at the cemetery, with Eren asking Reiji if he's really sure about taking on the Godoh for the sake of one girl and Reiji answers that he will stay here a bit longer. The final scene shows cherry blossom petals fall all around Mio as she declares to look towards the future with optimism.
Dusty Desert Trails: This can be considered Cal's "True Ending". As with "Road of the Cerulean Sky", do not fully complete Mio's path and at the last choice, choose to go after Drei. In this ending, Reiji rescues Mio, and they part with no explanations as Reiji is still trying to prevent her from getting mixed up in the mess. Cal returns and finds Mio gone, and calls Reiji. Taunting her over the phone, Reiji arranges a duel at the church in one hour, with the intent to deliberately lose. As the music box stops and Cal is about to fire, Eren appears and forces Cal to dodge and miss. Eren and Cal then have a duel which Eren is about to win, but Reiji jumps in front of Cal, blocking the knife with his back and fainting. Cal is stunned that Reiji would do something like this for her, and Eren explains that this is what he wished for.
Godoh's men attack the church, and Eren convinces Cal to take Reiji and escape from the back while she holds them off. After the sun has set, Scythe shows up at the church with the Zahlen Schwestern and marvels at the mound of corpses. Meanwhile, Cal has hidden in the school with Reiji, and Cal has reverted to her happy personality before she became Drei. She demands that Reiji have sex with her, but just as they are about to start, three members of the Zahlen Schwestern launch a surprise attack and are taken out by Cal almost instantly. Cal then goes to try and draw out the other three, but one of them sweeps the building looking for Reiji and falls into his trap. Just as Reiji is about to go help Cal, he is shot by Scythe. Cal blows up the last two Zahlen Schwestern using the chemistry lab, but is forced to drop her guns as Scythe uses Reiji as a hostage. Scythe is about to shoot Cal, but is shot by Eren who suffered fatal wounds from the battle with Godoh's men, and she dies in Cal's arms.
An unspecified amount of time later, Reiji and Cal have become well known free lance assassins known as "Phantom" and hitched a ride on a truck heading to a desert town "Santa Madelia", presumably somewhere in Mexico (as one of the gangsters there use the term "gringo"), their target being the gang boss of the town with the whole town there to protect him. They make plans to go on a holiday after this job, and think about how they will be together, always.
This ending will give you the last part of the ending password.....
- There is also an additional "bad" ending exclusively for Phantom Integration that can be found in Chapter 3. In order to acquire this ending, you must have completely fulfilled Cal's path back in chapter 2 (choose to make love to her) and then choose to search for Ein in chapter 3. This will follow the "Road of the Cerulean Sky" ending until it reaches the duel between Reiji and Cal. Here, Reiji is unable to keep his promise to Eren and hesitates in shooting Cal, allowing her to win the duel. Cal stands there and wonders why Reiji didn't shoot. A moment later, she is interrupted by Scythe arriving in the church with the Zahlen Schwestern in tow. Scythe is pleasantly surprised at the outcome of the match and compliments Cal. However, she seems dissatisfied and impulsively betrays Scythe, causing a shootout between her and the Zahlen Schwestern. Time passes until nightfall and Cal is lying down wounded on a beach, presumably winning the battle at the church. Eren arrives at the scene a moment later, seeking revenge against Cal for killing Reiji. However, Cal makes no motion to defend herself and simply lies there, appearing regretful for the events that transpired. Eren in turn loses her motivation to carry out her vengeance and looks up sorrowfully at the night sky. Nothing they do now will bring Reiji back, and so both of them can do nothing more but lament their loss.

- Like A Tiger 250 Recycled EP Covers
I was given the task to make 250 individual album covers to the band Like A Tigers new EP. Because of a very small budget, I decided to use old covers from an earlier release and make them their new cover by painting them with a thick white paint. The white paint reveals some of the old cover beneath and therefore the new covers all look dirrerent from each other. To make the cover more unique I decided to screen print the info on a banderole and to get the CD inside, you would have to break it.
Like A Tigers music is lovely and I can recommend you to listen to it at www.likeatiger.dk

Adam Sandler fills in for Letterman
Posted: Thursday 22nd March 2007 at 9:29am by Paul - No comments yet - click to add one?
Adam Sandler was asked to stand in as a last-minute replacement for David Letterman on the Tuesday edition of the Late Show this week, as Dave had to go home ill. Dave came in to work as normal for rehearsals, but felt too ill to go ahead with the taping of the show. Dave is thought to have stomach flu. This is thought to be the first time Dave has turned up at the Theatre, but been unable to go on with the show. Wednesday's show had already been taped, so that went ahead as planned, with Dave. Thursday and Friday slots are reruns, as planned – due to basketball coverage on CBS. Adam Sandler – who brought his dog Matzoball into the guest seat – was quite funny, but he admits he had never interviewed anyone before.

Public Works
Public works refers to construction, alteration, demolition, installation, or repair work (including maintenance) done under contract and paid by public funds. Public works projects do not include those done by a public agency with its own employees.
With minor exceptions, all workers employed on public works projects must be paid the prevailing wage determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations according to the type of work and location. The prevailing wage rates are usually based on rates specified in collective bargaining agreements.
The Director of DIR also makes coverage determinations, hears enforcement appeals, and oversees labor compliance programs, while the Labor Commissioner is responsible for all compliance monitoring, investigations, and enforcement.
Contractor Registration
Important Notice for Contractors:
Contractors acquiring a public works contractor registration number should pay any fees and/or penalties if applicable by credit card. With a credit card payment, contractors can expect a registration number within 24 hours. Otherwise, any other form of payment will take up to eight weeks for verification of payment and may impact further fees and/or penalties.
Beginning July 1, 2014, contractors must register and meet requirements using the online application before bidding on public works contracts in California. The application also provides agencies that administer public works programs with a searchable database of qualified contractors. Application and renewal are completed online with a non-refundable fee of $300. Read the SB 854 Fact Sheet for a complete list of requirements.
Instructions for completing the form
For more information, please read our frequently asked questions. If you have additional questions, please send an email regarding contractor registration to email@example.com or contact DLSE by telephone (click here to find your local DLSE office)
To learn more about contractor registration information and process, view a webinar or slide presentation.
Project Registration
The agency awarding the contract for a public works project must notify DIR within five days by completing the PWC-100 form online. This requirement now applies to all public works projects that are subject to the prevailing wage requirements of the Labor Code, regardless of size or funding source.

The Seven Trumpets

posted on May, 15 2005 @ 10:53 AM
January 1st 2019
David Simons awoke to find his desk cluttered with holo-sheets of 2002NT7. The comet was a month away from impact and the department of homeland security, NASA and the European space agency were struggling to find a way to stop it. They had run hundreds of simulations involving nudging it, blowing it up and putting satellites on a collision course but the different agencies couldn't agree on a method.
The comet had been spotted 17 years ago in 2002 and could hit the Earth on 1stFebuary of this year at a speed of 28km per second, as its about 2km in diameter it will cause widespread devastation.
He got out of bed yawning, stretched his arms and walked over to mirror. David saw a middle-aged man with blue eyes and a small dent above his nose staring back at him. He ran his hand over his dark brown hair where the first grey hair were appearing.
David looked at his clock, 10:00AM. After a quick shave and rushed breakfast he walked out of his $1 million Washington apartment. The cold winter morning hit his face like a cold shower in Antarctica.
He walked over to the apartment complex's motor-select machine and inserted his identification card. The machine beeped twice as his car was selected from the underground car park facility and the car-space sized "trap door" opened as David's vintage Porsche Boxter S ascended on the lift. The car was silver with black leather seats and a 0-60mph time of 5.7 seconds and 3.2 litre engine.
David opened the door and stepped in placing his leather briefcase on the opposite seat. He had made some modification to the cars interior, adding a GPS system, voice recognition module and A.D.A.M (Auto-Drive Assistant Master).
"Start Adam" David said using the Voice module. The car beeped and the A.D.A.M. screen lit up on the dashboard and a list of destinations popped up. HOME, WORK, NSA, ESA, MICHELLE, SIMON.
"work" David said yawning.
The engine started and the car down the streets of Washington D.C.. David looked across to white house as they passed Pensylvania avenue. Four Tupolev Tu60's had been assigned to guard the airspace around the white house when, in 2007, a terrorist bomber plane had almost crashed into it, only to be shot down by an F-16 on the lawn.
The car slowed as it reached the gate of the Department of Homeland security. David inserted his identification card into the machine in the wall beside his car and the gates opened. The car drove onto the "trap door" and turned itself off. David got his briefcase and got out as the car descended into the underground car park.
The entire building had been reconstructed in 2013 at a cost of $40 billion. David walked to the main door, entered his access code and used the retinal scan before the door clicked open. He felt a wave of dread as he walked into the modern buildings hallway. All personnel had to work double shifts starting today since the comet was closing in on Earth we needed a way to stop it.
The hallway was cold and had marble floors and white walls. David started walking down the hall towards the titanium door at the end where he entered another code and opened the door. He stepped out into the foyer of the building. A huge dome in the middle was supported by white marble columns. At the centre of the floor there was the seal of the DHS and the words
"Preserving our freedoms, protecting America ... we secure our homeland".
David walked across the smooth black marble floor and into the new wing of the building that had been assigned to prevent the comet collision.
As David walked into the office, everyone was silently listening to the report on the 8 projection screens around the room. A young woman was at the news desk.
"This is Christine Jones reporting for CNN. A new report released to the public today clarifies the initial worries of the decline of trees and even major loss of grass. About 33% of all trees on the planet have been used up either for fuel or due to forest fires or logging. Also almost 80% of the grass on Earth is gone. To keep oxygen levels up the international governments are creating artificial grass and trees and have set up a program to create oxygen on a mass scale. I spoke to Peter Rothman of the environmental….."
"Mr. Simmons?" David heard a voice next to him and turned to see his assistant Haley.
She was only eighteen with dark blonde hair. She was a junior researcher in human resources but had been reassigned when the threat of the comet became serious.
"Mr. Simmons, that report on the gravitational pull of the comet just came in, I put it on your desk.
"Thanks, Haley" Peter said and rushed off to his desk.
What do you think so far?

David scrambled down the crowded corridor, avoiding people rushing by with trays of coffee and their arms stacked with files and folders, until he reached the familiar surroundings of his office. He placed his finger on the small, silver print scanner on the wall and turned the brass doorknob.
His office was decorated with models of the early planes and a glass cabinet in the corner which housed his model car collection. He sat down and switched on his PC. The holographic keyboard turned on and David started pulling up his e-mail.
To: firstname.lastname@example.com
From: email@example.com
Subject: Loan repayment
Mr. Simmons,
The repayment of your recent loan has not been completed. Please contact us at your earliest convenience to settle this matter.
Yours Sincerely
John Wildman
Bank of America
David started thinking about asking for a raise when his phone rang. He hit speakerphone hoping it wouldn't be John Wildman.
"David Simmons, Department of Homeland Security" he said closing his e-mail.
"Hello, this is Father Peter Martial" he spoke with soft French accent. "I'm calling from Rennes-le-Chateau in France, you may have heard of it?"
"Eh, no I haven't" David said wondering why on earth a priest was calling him.
"Well, I understand you are one of the lead scientists on the asteroid project?"
"Yeah, that's right" David said slowly, curious why a priest from a small rural village was interested in scientific projects.
"Yes, I have some very important information for you" he started to speak faster now, "My coins are about to run out but can you meet me tomorrow at 12:00AM at the "Rocket Diner" in the Washington mall?"
"Yeah, sure" David said.
"Great, I'll see y-…" The phone went dead.
David knew it would just be some crazy talk about how it's "a sign of God" but at least it would get him out of work.

Can divorce actually be good for your kids?
yes.... I came from a divorced family. My parents get along better apart then together. It was horrible living with the 2 of them I just wanted to run away. I loved them both to death but I wanted OUT!!!! They got a divorce when I was 8 and I had open visitation and lived with my mom. My brother lived with my dad. My parents talked to each other about everything that was going on and it was a complete slip parenting involvement. They made sure everything was about the kids and not themselves. Like most people do today. I was made to visit my dad on set days and there was no exception. If I wanted to stay longer or go back earlier that was ok. But there was no crap between the family it just wasn't allowed. My dad even did X-mas eve at my moms house every year.. This may be the first year it may not happen. after 24 years of this routine I don't know if I can accept that lol. Love my parents and thankful they got divorcrd...
Women who stay for the kids always trip me out cuz it's not for the kids! It's a excuse women use because they are in love and afraid. Grow up pull them big girl panties on and do whatcha gotta do.
yes sometimes it can be fine for the kids
Because they don't have to be put in the middle of things
I think it depends on the situation, most cases, yes. Especially if divorce was even considered. If its that bad, then something needs to be done. But also in the same instance, people are creatures of adaptation. Divorce should be the last option, no one is born to know how to tolerate each other, we are only shown by exposure, and taught what life gives us. Some need a little extra help with emotional issues that are a little beyond their control. Everyone situation is different, but also so many are similar in different ways. Its hard to know what to do.

Current projects
I am currently working on a film project on Don Quijote de la Mancha.
I recently completed my second film on the singer and performer Judy Frankel. Judy Frankel has spent many years researching and working with Sephardic Jewish people and their families to learn and disseminate the rich musical tradition of the Sephardic people.
About my research
I want to engage the students in the humanities. To that end, I am very interested in using film to present, communicate and disseminate information and issues on Spanish culture and literature.

42 year old man | Jonesboro, GA, USA | Seeking women 33-43 within 50 miles
Active within 3 days
To move a mountain one must first start with the small stones..
Ok, here goes: Outgoing, funny, free thinking, easy going guy looking for the same in an interesting woman.. If I've got something to say I just say it, usually with the intent of prompting a smile. I love all kinds of music, rock, blues, funk, alternative, hip hop. If it sounds good, I'll listen. Categories are for Jeopardy. I love the token things as well, outdoors, traveling, good food and I'm a passionate sports fan and player.. I'm seeking a woman who enjoys a good game of pool, a movie with a classic actor/actress, a good conversation about anything from the merits of the fish taco to the plight of the California condor and everything in between. She must love to smile and laugh, because the most important things two people can give to one another are joy and happiness. (CPR is a close third). The mind and the smile come first, but sports, rollerblading, good food, the arts, science and a healthy interest in seeing what the world has to offer are a plus.. Someone who doesn't necessarily agree with me, but someone I can exchange ideas with is a must.
Camping , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports
Hockey, Inline skating, Other types of exercise, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.

My friends, my dogs, Family Guy, the Black Keys, IPAs, my iPod, Saturdays, and hair... off the top of my head.
I enjoy a good comedy, whipping up a batch of my signature ribs or avocado tacos, anything involving a racquet, taking a long drive on backroads to a bed and breakfast or a trip to Vegas, to name a few.

vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) FAQ (1021175)
This article provides answers to frequently asked questions about vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP).
What is VADP?
VADP is the next generation of VMware's data protection framework introduced in vSphere 4.0 that enables backup products to do centralized, efficient, off-host LAN free backup of vSphere virtual machines.
A backup product using VADP can backup vSphere virtual machines from a central backup server or virtual machine without requiring backup agents or requiring backup processing to be done inside each guest virtual machine on the ESX host. This offloads backup processing from ESX hosts and reduces costs by allowing each ESX host to run more virtual machines.
VADP leverages the snapshot capabilities of VMware vSphere to enable backup across SAN without requiring downtime for virtual machines. As a result, backups can be performed non-disruptively at any time of the day without requiring extended backup windows and the downtime to applications and users associated with backup windows.
What are the benefits of VADP?
Does VADP replace the VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) framework?
How does VADP compare with VCB?
Requires additional download & install |
No, built into the data protection software |
Yes |
Full virtual machine image backup |
Yes, single step copy – source to target |
Yes, with two step copy – source to VCB proxy and VCB proxy to the target |
Incremental virtual machine image backup |
Yes – using change block tracking |
No |
File level backup |
Yes, both Windows and Linux |
Yes, Windows only |
Full virtual machine image restore |
Yes |
Yes, by using VMware Converter |

He was able to write technical and mechanical articles which everyone could grasp, pieces about how to ride, road law, setting up a bike and just about anything, and they were all well thought through and robustly researched.Journalists often don't get the profile or the respect they deserve.

by Ed Ross
January 5, 2009
Barring some new national catastrophe during President-elect Barack Obama's first 100 days in office, his top priority will be dealing with the global financial crisis and its impact on the US economy.
At the same time, several national security issues also require attention. How his administration approaches them during these early months will set the pattern for the next four years and either increase or decrease its prospects for success.
We still don't know who Obama will appoint to most of his administration's key national security positions beneath the secretaries of State and Defense and his national security advisor. Those top appointments and Obama's statements during the campaign, however, provide important clues to how he likely will approach several important national security challenges.
Obama's decision to retain Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and Obama's recent statements on Iraq indicate that he is not likely to call in Admiral Michael Mullen and General David Petraeus and give them new marching orders. There is no need to alter the timetable recently agreed to by Presidents George W. Bush and Nouri al-Maliki to withdraw all US Forces from Iraq by December 31, 2011. The war in Iraq has been won, and Obama should leave well enough alone. He should resist pressure from within his own party to do otherwise. Major factors affecting the pace of withdrawal of US forces from Iraq should be which units will go to Afghanistan and other pressing military requirements. Gates, Mullen, and Petraeus will figure that out.
Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Gates need to worry more about Pakistan, a major breeding ground for terrorists and the potential source of conflict between Pakistan and India. Getting off on the right foot with the Pakistan government during the first 100 days is critical. They must work with President Asif Ali Zardari to make the US-Pakistan relationship less transactional, more focused on domestic political and economic stability, and to make Pakistan more effective against al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups
Resolving the continuing Middle East conflict should be a top priority, but the new administration must act deliberately, not reactively. By the time he is sworn in on January 20, 2009, or soon thereafter, Hamas in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli armed forces likely will have agreed on another ceasefire. The Kadima Party, if it wishes to retain control of government in the February election, must go to the Israeli people with evidence that they've stopped Hamas' rocket attacks and their killing of Israeli civilians. A ceasefire is the best way to do that in the near term, but only if it stops the rocket attacks. Allowing Hamas to claim it successfully stood up to Israel as Hezbollah did after Israel's 2006 incursion into Lebanon isn't conducive to that or a long-term settlement.
After the Israeli election, Obama can send his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, to the region to meet with the leaders of Israel, the Palestinian Fatah Party, Egypt, and Jordan. With Dennis Ross as the new Middle East envoy, she can establish relationships with the key players and develop a long-term strategy. Various people, including Richard Holbrooke, are under consideration for the Middle East envoy job, but Ross has the experience, knows the players and issues well, and understands what's necessary.
On Iran, Obama has called for a change of strategy. He's proposed meeting with Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Iran draws ever closer to developing and producing nuclear weapons, however, it has given the United States and its European partners no reason to believe presidential-level talks would serve any purpose other than to buy time for a fait accompli.
Obama has repeatedly indicated that he would not take the military option off the table. Nevertheless, there is no reason to believe that he is prepared to act unilaterally or support Israeli military action to thwart Iran's nuclear program. Doing so runs counter to Obama's criticism of his predecessor and to his preference for negotiations. And he knows that Iran would react with military action of its own by attempting to close the Strait of Hormuz, attacking US forces in the region, or launching missiles at Israel.
As former UN Ambassador John Bolton has succinctly stated, "Military action against Iran is an extremely unattractive option, but Iran's possession of nuclear weapons is even more unattractive." Before Obama's first 100 days are up, he must either convince the American people that he has an effective strategy for dealing with a nuclear armed Iran or he must begin to garner their support for US military action.
Then there's Russia. Vladimir Putin and his cohort Dmitri Medvedev have decided to respond aggressively to NATO expansion in Central and Eastern Europe and to challenge the United States for access and influence. As they did in Georgia, before long they'll cross the line again. Obama must decide early on how he will deal with Russia's increasingly authoritative and belligerent dynamic duo. Like China, the US needs Russian cooperation on a wide spectrum of issues in the United Nations and elsewhere to have a successful global national security strategy. But we can't allow Russia or China to roll back the gains freedom and democracy have made.
President Obama's personal diplomacy with our adversaries should begin with Putin and Medvedev. As with John Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev there are risks here for the new president, but unlike Iran the chances for some success make the risk worthwhile. Unlike Khrushchev, Putin and Medvedev understand and respect the clout a new American president with broad international appeal brings to the table. They will certainly test him, but Obama needs to pass that test sooner rather than later.
There are many other pending national security issues the new administration must deal with. North Korea remains a problem. Hugo Chávez is a persistent irritant. Gates must begin preparing the first Obama defense budget and a new weapons acquisition strategy that takes into account the current economic situation. State and the National Security Council must step up to the plate on US arms sales to Taiwan. Like every new presidential administration, opportunities for progress are great when the new president's popularity, both domestically and internationally, is high. Financial and economic problems facing the US are huge and require the new president's personal attention. His national security team also has their work cut out for them.

Explore Galway and Mayo Galway city East Galway The Aran Islands Connemara County Mayo Share INISHBOFIN continues the diversity of the Connemara landscape into the sea, though in a gentler, miniature format. Just 5km wide, the island encompasses cliffs and the rocky outcrops known as The Stags on its western side, tranquil, reedy Lough Boffin, the haunt of swans, at its centre, and several sandy beaches, but rises only to 90m at its highest point, Cnoc Mór, which is carpeted by a springy layer of grass. This all makes for gentle, low-key exploration, complemented by a choice of good accommodation and plenty of traditional music, featuring the island's own renowned ceilidh band.

"I loved how the design of the card matched perfectly with my picture. According to my family and friends, it came out so nice! I'm planning on ordering more graduation cards to give to my coworkers. The staff members who reviews the card before it prints was awesome too! My words were slightly cut off on the invitation and I put it down as something I wanted them to fix and they did! The text printed perfectly!! Thanks so much!!"
"I found Tiny Prints through googling "affordable graduation announcements". I was worried about how the picture would turn out on the announcement because even though it was taken on a professional camera the website still said that it was not a good enough quality. I took the chance anyway and opted for the professional review before the order was processed. The order arrived 4 days before expected and maybe even more than that I just happened to see it on my porch one morning. The order turned out wonderful! The quality of the picture was exactly what I wanted. Im glad I chose Tiny Prints to make my graduation announcements. I even recommend them to my mother for out annual christmas cards."
"Very happy with my purchase of Stenciled Scholar announcements. Had them done in red with a black and white photo (school colors). Love the stencil look. Great quality! Got lots of compliments."
"The only real problem with this card was trying to decide which design to use. The quality of the paper is very nice. It feels and looks expensive. Very easy to use as well. I love using Tiny Prints."
"The graduation announcement were exactly what I wanted and needed. Simple chic and to the point. The paper was quality and the design was correct."

Conrad Malte-Brun
Conrad Malte-Brun (12 August 1775 – 14 December 1826), born Malthe Conrad Bruun, and sometimes referred to simply as Malte-Brun,[1] was a Danish-French geographer and journalist. His second son, Victor Adolphe Malte-Brun, was also a geographer.
Born in Thisted to an administrator of Danish crown lands, Malte-Brun was destined for a career as a pastor, but chose instead to attend classes at the University of Copenhagen, and became a supporter of the French Revolution and an activist in favor of freedom of the press. Following the harsh censorship laws instituted by the Danish ruler crown prince Frederick in September 1799, he was indicted because of his many pamphlets which contained outright criticism of the government, something which the new censorship laws forbade. A particular cause for offence was a pamphlet he published in 1795 enitled "Catechism of the Aristocrats."[1]
The case of Peter Andreas Heiberg, who for similar crimes had been sentenced to exile at Christmas of 1799 did not make Malte-Brun optimistic about his chances. He had already left the country prior to the court sentence (which was first carried late 1800) and had settled first in Sweden, later in the Free City of Hamburg.
Malte-Brun arrived in France in November 1799, and began work on a geography treatise meant as a gift to his adoptive country. A poem on the death of Bernstorff which he published during his exile procured for him permission to return to Denmark. But another pamphlet against the aristocracy subjected him to a new prosecution, and he left his country, and finally took up his residence in Paris. In December 1800, the Danish courts pronounced sentence of perpetual banishment against him, which was rescinded about the time of his death.[1] Malte-Brun's geography treatise was written with the help of Edme Mentelle, a professor at the École Normale; together, they produced Géographie mathématique, physique et politique de toutes les parties du monde (6 vols., published between 1803 and 1812).
He was a regular contributor to Journal des Débats. He at first opposed the consular government, but subsequently became a zealous imperialist, and after the fall of Napoleon an equally zealous monarchist, publishing in 1824 Traité de la légitimité considérée comme base du droit public de l'Europe chrétienne.[1]
Aside from his political writings, he devoted himself especially to geographical studies.[1] He was the founder of Les Annales des Voyages (in 1807) and Les Annales des Voyages, de la Géographie et de l'Histoire (in 1819), which encouraged observations and reports as a basis for research. He became well known after contributing Tableau de la Pologne, a treatise on the geography of Poland (in 1807, as the First Empire troops established French tutelage in the region). In 1822-1824, he served as the first general secretary of the newly founded Société de Géographie. Malte-Brun was the first person to suggest importing camels into Australia.[3] See Australian feral camel.
He died in Paris in 1826, as he was drafting the final version of his major work, the Précis de Géographie Universelle ou Description de toutes les parties du monde. This appeared in eight volumes (1810–29), the last two volumes being by Huot.[1] Malte-Brun's name was given to streets in both Paris (20th arrondissement) and Thisted.
